So Far Gone

I swear I haven't lost it

I know it's there somewhere

I can see it in the distance

Maybe why I stare

Deep breaths in, deep breaths out

They come across as sighs

Actually dreading breathing

All those sad goodbyes

Heartache's worn outward

On a sleeve of discontent

Now echo ever inward

On the time I should have spent

But it's so, it's so far gone

It's so, it's so far gone

Staring up at the ceiling

My eyes are open wide

Every time I close them

I think of all the times I've cried

If loving is so criminal

Then lock me in a cell

For heaven is too good for me

I'd rather rot in hell

Although I'm trying harder still

Not to be pulled down

I'm drowning in the sea of love,

Where I would love to drown

But it's so, it's so far gone

It's so, it's so far gone

Time that's been wasted

Lord, we fell apart

Never to return

But there's a pain burning in my heart

Looking in the mirror

I don't like what I see

All the devils and the demons

Staring back at me

Full of bad decisions,

In spite of what I know

Pick me up, dust me off

And forward on I'll go

But it's so, it's so far gone

It's so, it's so far gone

So far gone
